check if a key exists in a bucket in s3 using boto3

Question

I would like to know if a key exists in boto3. I can loop the bucket contents and check the key if it matches.

But that seems longer and an overkill. Boto3 official

Answer 1

Not only client but bucket too:

import boto3
import botocore
bucket = boto3.resource('s3', region_name='eu-west-1').Bucket('my-bucket')

try:
  bucket.Object('my-file').get()
except botocore.exceptions.ClientError as ex:
  if ex.response['Error']['Code'] == 'NoSuchKey':
    print('NoSuchKey')
